Bev loved her family and friends and was always there for them. Throughout her life, she showed this by being kind from the heart. Her kids, family, and friends knew they could talk to her about anything that was bothering them.
She liked taking trips with Richard, taking care of her family, talking on the phone every day with her sisters, baking for friends and neighbors, gardening, doing needlework, and making sure that everyone who came to her house felt welcome and at ease.
Along with her parents, Vina and Wilbur Laumann, her husband Richard Mesh and her daughter Richarda “Rikki” Mesh also died.
Lisa Mesh of Santa Clara, CA; Tiffany Mesh of Gulfport, MS; and Doug Mesh of Austin, TX are her three children. She is also survived by the two grandkids she had, Mary Miller and Taylor Miller, and the great-grandson Skylar Miller. Betty Ellender and Albert Ellender of Lake Charles and Brenda Mouhot and Michael Mouhot of Kinder, both of whom loved her, are also left to mourn.
